NEW ARRIVAL

BIRTHDAYS

REMEMBRANCES Harold J. Clark Nov. 7, 1923 — Feb. 18, 2004 He is done forever with spring plowing, And walking thru the fields on a sunny morning To see that all is well.

The whippoorwills, whose call he eagerly awaited, Return, but he does not hear them now.

The acres that he loved lie fallow...

Fields he will no longer tend.

I have said that he is done With fields and plowing, Yet on Life’s other side he has awakened to tend again the farmlands of the Lord.

In loving memory Wife & Family

In Loving Memory of Jim Meyer

Start using cloth bags today, and save our world for tomorrow!

Ideally, everyone would recycle their

plastic bags. The sad fact is only 3% of plastic shopping bags are recycled.

People need incentives to reduce their consumption of disposable shopping bags. Some places, like Taiwan, China and San Francisco CA, have banned plastic shopping bags. Others, like Washington D.C. and Seattle WA, have placed a user fee on plastic bags.

“Our family will save $7,238 because our daughter chose NIACC first.” *

When she’s finished with college, she’ll have the same college degree as students who started at a 4-year school. By choosing NIACC for the first two years and transferring to a 4-year school, our daughter is saving our family $7,238.* That’s a huge difference in these difficult economic times.

Choose NIACC first. Call 1-888-GO NIACC www.niacc.edu/parents *Average difference between two years tuition at NIACC and two years average tuition at regents universities in Iowa. (based on Fall 2010 tuition and fees) MS-22412
